It's time for another round! This time we'll Drink and Click our way through the Downtown Art Walk. If you haven't been to the art walk before, be prepared for a TON of people and some crowded streets. It's always a fun time.
We'll start at Salvage Bar & Lounge, where the decor is made from salvaged materials. Cool, eh?
The 7th Street/Metro Center red line stop is right next to this location.
See you there!

Hand Picked Photographers Circles - Canon Camera G-H - 5 of 30Note: These circles are sorted by camera type and last name. They are split to not exceed 200 members. These circles are photographers that I admire. They have "more photos, less spam." There have been many additions and a few drops (mostly for spam or inactivity). Be sure to get all of the circles. Share! If you miss any of the circles they can be found at: +Gailen Mapes and scroll back to February 1st for the start of this set. (Previous complete set was published starting January 1st.) You can also use the #handpickedcircles hash tag and sort by "recent."I am hard up against the 5000 limit. From here on, I am going to have to become rather more strict about the "spam rules." Essentially if I have to go back more than a screen on your profile before I hit original material, there is a good chance that I may drop you from the circles. Of course there will be mitigating factors...Because of the way that Google no longer presents every person who adds me to their circles to me it is quite possible that I have missed some pretty good photographers. If I am following you, chances are that you are already in one of these circles or in my "check later" circle.

Thomas HawkShared publicly - 30 Aug 2013 2500 Kick Ass Google+ Photographers (part 2 of 5)This is the fifth time I've shared my photographer's circle on Google+. I'm going to share it in 5 posts. Yesterday I shared last name A-Da. This one , part 2 of 5, today, represents Da-Ho. I'll share the remaining three next week. I originally shared my photographers circle at 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 photographers. I'll probably share it again eventually when it gets to 3,000.A few notes about this circle.The criteria that I look for (and don't always get right) in this circle is that the photographer produce interesting and engaging photography. I also look for people who are active in the community, post mostly their own work, and post regularly. I'm looking more for people who post their own work and less of the noise stuff (gifs, links, non-photography, promotions, etc.). I also like people who are positive, friendly, nice, helpful, etc. and dislike people who are mean, snarky, jerks, disrespectful, etc.I have a pretty well known bias against signatures and watermarks. You will see very few photographers in my circles who use them. I really hate the watermark debate and would rather not have it with folks. I just don't like them -- it's my circle that I have to look at. There are likely a few folks in here who use them who are friends of mine, but for the most part, this is a pretty watermark free circle. It's totally cool if you love your watermark, it's just not something I really want to look at. Please don't hate me for my aesthetic preference. Finally, the photography community on Google+ is probably the best one on the internet today. There is no way that I can possibly include all of the fine photographers worth following on G+. There are wayyyyy too many. These are just 2,500 that I personally have noticed. I'm sure I left out some really amazing ones -- like you if you are not in this circle :) I'll probably also totally kick myself when I realize that I accidentally left out a really obvious good one who may even be a friend of mine -- again, maybe even like you. :)Stay tuned for parts 3, 4 and 5 and thanks again to all of the great photographers on G+ who make this place such a delight to hang out.Part 1-5: http://goo.gl/17ujpn*Note, Google Circles are terribly wonky. It wouldn't let me add some photographers in my circle into these circles because of domain errors. If this affected you, sorry about that.﻿

I just don't like them -- it's my circle that I have to look at. There are likely a few folks in here who use them who are friends of mine, but for the most part, this is a pretty watermark free circle. It's totally cool if you love your watermark, it's just not something I really want to look at. Please don't hate me for my aesthetic preference. Finally, the photography community on Google+ is probably the best one on the internet today. There is no way that I can possibly include all of the fine photographers worth following on G+. There are wayyyyy too many. These are just 2,500 that I personally have noticed. I'm sure I left out some really amazing ones -- like you if you are not in this circle :) I'll probably also totally kick myself when I realize that I accidentally left out a really obvious good one who may even be a friend of mine -- again, maybe even like you. :)Stay tuned for parts 3, 4 and 5 and thanks again to all of the great photographers on G+ who make this place such a delight to hang out.Part 1-5: http://goo.gl/17ujpn*Note, Google Circles are terribly wonky. It wouldn't let me add some photographers in my circle into these circles because of domain errors. If this affected you, sorry about that.﻿

DNDEasily, one of the best features of the Android 5, so far... Tapping the volume button presents you with quick access to a variety of "do not disturb" options. I set mine to allow messages/calls from only starred contacts for X hours during a meeting, in seconds.

Awesome UX.

Smart Lock - Trusted FaceInputting your security pattern, number, or whatever, is easy enough, but not doing it at all while still being safe is even better. I've used this "face unlock" feature in the past, and it was horribly inaccurate. Trusted face (Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Trusted Face) is much, much faster. Will it work with a photo of my head in front of my phone? Not sure. I haven't used Trusted Devices yet, but I'm curious about it.

1. Rocketdock - This is an app launcher. I like to have "nothing" on my desktop, in terms of app-shortcuts and icons. Rocketdock is a nice "fast access" tool for commonly used applications - http://rocketdock.com/

3. Launchy - If you want a Spotlight style launcher, file search, calculator, etc too for fast access to what's on your system and on the web, check out http://www.launchy.net/ -- I use it with a modified "Mercury" skin - you can edit the skins in Photoshop pretty easy.

My friend over at +MUNITIO launched a Kickstarter campaign to relaunch his company. I'm excited to see him back as the owner and controlling visionary commanding the helm of Munitio, and backed this project without hesitation.

After using Synergy for as long as I can remember (roughly 10+ years) - I've tried something new for sharing my keyboard/mouse to my "utility" screen laptop... and it's remarkably better than Synergy - for Windows, by Microsoft. It took a software bug in the latest version of Synergy to get me to seek out an alternative.

Added bonus, MwB allows you to drag files from one machine to another seamlessly, much like that Mac one, I think it's called "teleport". Synergy didn't allow that; to my knowledge.

Good upgrade. Free too. Neat﻿

Recently upgraded my 120GB SSD to a 500GB SSD - mainly because the price point of SSD's has fallen a TON in 2014. The biggest question I had was, "what's the fastest, easiest method to just tap a few buttons and like magic, migrate my OS/Boot drive into this new one?" -- I looked at a bunch of nerdy options, Ease US stuff, and backup/restore solutions - nope. Acronis True Image for $49 won. I installed the app (link provided), selected the source drive, selected the freshly installed (completely blank, no partitions, etc) new drive as the destination, clicked next, rebooted - and it just did it's thing.

Removed the old drive, seated the new one in its place - and that was it. Done. 10 years ago, migrations were far from being this elegant and easy to do.

Awesome.﻿

Vacation! It's already given me the time to put the finishing touches on a new project called Twicery.

Twicery is a response to a question on Quora that asked "Are there any free or cheap tools that would enable me to monitor a keyword and be notified whenever somebody over a certain follower threshold (say, 100,000) used it in a tweet?" I thought it was a great idea, so I built it. Specify Twitter keywords, set a minimum follower count, and receive an email when a suitably popular account tweets about it. You can also exclude retweets and filter out chosen accounts.

I'd love to hear what you think.

Minor update to the personal site. Decided to just use Google+ and such to house my "blog posts" as I don't have a need to own that content (it's not a source of income or a profession). Basically, going to try this whole "If I have something to share, share it where the people are" methodology of content creation as opposed to the "If I have something to share, show people where they can read it." Let's see how goes.﻿

App SwitcherThe bigger tiles are cute & all, but I actually think the speed and effectiveness of the previous version was better, even though the bigger ones offer an "X" embellishment for closing out things - and this interface carries to Chrome - which is a good addition.

Notification BarThe slide down for settings is great, nice looking UI with an improved UX over previous versions. Tapping the cog opens the Settings window too, allowing for more control without digging for the Settings icon in the app windows.

Other stuffThe animations are nice, the interface designs are well though out, a lot of color unification within Google's apps, UI unification (the little "add" action button is always in the bottom right), and they seem to be getting a lot done with less explanation, allowing for more swiping about and sliding around the screens to get into pieces (like the left-slide drawer in Gmail / Google Maps / etc).

Definitely happy to have it on my Nexus 5, and may even keep this phone in my pocket until mid to late next year before I grab the Nexus 6 "for the heck of it". I'm definitely not left wanting for better at the moment - though I could do with new hardware optics, the camera in the Nexus 5 is "so so".﻿___

Nokia was once a toilet paper company. Nokia was once the global leader in mobile. Point being, Nokia is a sleeping giant, even though Microsoft has done their best to keep it from flatlining in the consumer market (2.6% marketshare... fail).

However, Nokia is the infrastructure pioneer behind little things like GSM and LTE, they still own so much IP in the mobile tech space, it's mind blowing. Although the players in the mobile marketplace are massive and leave little space left for "anyone else"; Nokia (historically) makes the best hardware for mobile devices... period.

Whatever they make won't bend, won't heavily use plastic, and it won't experience inconsistencies with network connection... Moreover - it won't suck.

This Nokia N1 is beast - news outlets compare it to the iPad Mini in hardware - but boasts Android 5.
